Steak

Shoestring Fries

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    Rub the ribeye steaks with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or prepare a grill pan on the stovetop.

  3. 3

    Grill the Steak

    Place the marinated steaks on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Add fresh rosemary sprigs to the grill for flavor. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Shoestring Fries Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin, matchstick-sized pieces to create shoestring fries.

  2. 5

    Soak the Potatoes

    Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve crispiness.

  3. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the soaked potatoes and pat them dry with paper towels. Carefully add them to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
